Top Music of 2016

What I actually listen to the most this year

Tue Jan 10, 2017

As you may already know, I have been scrobbling all of my music plays to Last.fm for the past 10 years. This year, Last.fm has a new report called Last.year that does all my homework for me! I have still recorded the usual stats below for future proofing.

I had some trouble scrobbling again this year. The scrobbler I was using at the beginning of the year stopped reporting Apple Music plays for tracks that weren’t downloaded to my library at some point. I switched to Silicio in September, and everything has been running smoothly ever since. I’m not sure exactly how long my previous scrobbler was broken before I realized it, though.

You may recognize some of these albums from my new music Tuesday posts. Making yourself write about new music really does open your eyes to new suff. Don’t get stuck in your 20s!

Anaal Nathrakh is a new one that is really growing on me. I found it during a pretty severe Misophonia period. The holidays are not a good time for me. This record is super noisy, angry, and a little silly. I do recommend checking it out of you like extreme metal.
